So as you can tell I'm not one bit excited, huh? Got my P90X system today!! I descended upon it like a hungry animal. I read the nutrition guide and looked at the workout manual...... I basically read every letter published in the kit. I'm just that excited to get started.
EXCEPT, it looks like you start at the beginning of the week, on Mondays. .. and it is Thursday. Well Poo. That means I have about 4 days to wait (and get more excited while I arrange my plan of attack). Oh well, this is probably a good thing for me. I can figure out what foods I need to shop for, and plan what I'll eat. There is no half-assing this thing. There is no "I'm sorta going to be doing P90X". I'm either All In (poker reference), or I'm not In at all! I've sort of done things in the past, and look where it got me. It got me fat and sassy is where it got me. I'm going to rock this thing like heavy metal. ha! I'm going to get in shape and that's THAT. I'm so serious. I like that the motto on this thing says, "Decide. Commit. Succeed." I am DECIDING to COMMIT to this program, and therefore I will SUCCEED. How's that for positive thinking?
I'm allllll over it!! :) Except I have to take 'before' photos. Oh ugh - serious? THAT'S gonna be fun. Fun like having a root canal fun. But hey, those before photos are going to be some serious motivation, I have a feeling!
I'm kind of scared tho. I mean, I've heard the workouts are killer. I watched the 'How to Bring It' intro dvd and thankfully Tony says, "Do your best and forget the rest". Um, pretty sure that's going to have to be my motto the first few weeks, til I gain some strength. B/c I am not in good shape right now by any stretch. The point is to fix that though, right?
Lemme at it! I've even told a few people at work to not tempt me with doughnuts and other baaaaaad things starting next week - b/c I'm going to be doing P90X!
So since I can't start til Monday I guess I'll do one final hurrah and not worry about what I eat until then. Not saying I'm going to go nutso, but IF I feel like eating it this weekend - whatever 'it' is - ice cream (ooooh, Snickers Blizzard!), candy (hello One Hundred Grand), bbq ribs, Popeye's spicy fried chicken, Pepperjax cheesesteak philly and fries *YUM!* - then I will indulge. But ONLY til Monday. Come to think of it, maybe that will actually help me get all of that bad eating out of my system - so I'll be less tempted to cheat on the nutrition plan once I get started.
Oh, and PS.....these blog posts are obviously not in actual time. It took me longer than a day to order and get my P90X of course. ... I am working my way backward from where the journey started until the present day. But the posts are in sequential order as far as the process from decision to get in shape, to ordering, receiving and starting etc. Hopefully I'll be caught up in the next few posts.. ...
Happy reading! :)
